#so pls ignore the painfully hipster editing

And now for something completely different! I created this boat when I was 16 and it still remains one of my favorite life experiences. I was reminded of it last night by a conversation on my personal blog, so here you go.

This is my darling, the skin-on-frame kayak I built in a 9-day-long workshop with Kiliii Yu, who is a kayak builder and teacher, professional photographer, musician, and all-round awesome human being (who took those last two photos of me with the boat). If anyone is interested I could talk about the building process, but for now I’ll just leave this here.
